Getting checked??

[Erika12214]

Does it hurt when the doctor checks your cervix? I was told today that I will get checked at my 39 week visit in 2 weeks. I'm nervous!

I'm exactly 36 weeks,  but have high blood pressure throughout,  that's why I'm being checked.  My doc is leaning towards inducing

It's been uncomfortable for me and slightly painful because I have not dilated any and he reaches all the way up there :( As others have said relaxing helps, I also wiggles my toes looking up.

First time it hurt like a motha! Second time... spread your legs breath and relax

I don't find it either....uncomfortable or painful....

[JessHall8783]

It's just uncomfortable.

Definitely uncomfortable, it can be painful when you  have a doctor who is in a rush or simply doesn't care about the patient being comfortable.

It was slightly painful but more uncomfortable than anything.

My first two pregnancies it was just uncomfortable, the last one though I have a fibroid that developed between pregnancy 2 and pregnancy 3, it's located close to my cervix and made it slightly more painful. I do agree though that you need to be relaxed, it definitely makes a difference

It is painful in my case everyone is different

I agree I find it more uncomfortable than painful. Just relax and breathe it goes fast also. It feels like alot of pressure.

It's uncomfortable rather than painful. Just have to try to relax, the more tense you are the worse it will be. Best wishes!
